>>Cardinals Beat Reds In Extras
(Cincinnati, OH) — The St. Louis Cardinals needed 13 innings to beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-3 at Great American Ball Park. Albert Pujols hit a sacrifice fly in the top of the 13th, and Lars Nootbaar slugged a two-run home run later in the frame for good measure. Nolan Arenado also went deep in the victory, and Andre Pallante earned his sixth win after tossing three innings out of the bullpen. St. Louis remains six games ahead of the Brewers in the NL Central. The Cardinals return home to play the Cubs tomorrow night.
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol says it was a big win.
